How to wire and connect Corsair RGB fans - tips for adding RGB fans to your case easily
5,262Wiring Corsair fans can be a pain, but it's not necessarily as complex as you might think. In this video I'm going to show you how to connect Corsair fans and where to connect them, including how to connect them to the RGB nodes, the fan power on your motherboard or how to make life easier with a Commander Core XT.
All this is being done outside the case, so that you can see the logic a bit more easily and understand the wiring in a more straightforward way. Hopefully this will help if you're planning on building a Corsair PC or just want guidance on which wires go where and why.
In this video I'm using a mix of LL120, ML120, QL120 and more fans to demonstrate how to do this and why it's not as hard as you might think.
My recommended tips:
- Don't mix and match fans
- Try to keep fans on your radiator attached to the pump head if possible (with breakouts or controllers)
- Use system fan headers if you want to save money
- Watch my videos
